I just received my first Peplink Puma antenna for a marine application.
I assumed the PUMA-401-S-W-6 (IP67 Omni 5-in-1 4x4 MIMO LTE / GPS Antenna) would include a marine 1 1/4” threaded base or adapter.
Please advise on marine 1 1/4” threaded base adapter / accessory options.
Good Afternoon
We don’t supply the mounting base as there are many different ways to install the antenna which wouldn’t required a base.
The thread specifications are 1.25" -11TPI (ISO 228/1-G 1)
The threaded base on the PUMA-401-S-W-6 I received = approximately 1.9" diameter = dead end with the existing 1 1/4" mounts on the vessel.
Is there a 1.9" to 1 1/4" ‘down adapter’ available?
Did I receive the incorrect antenna from Frontier?
PUMA-401-S-W-6 thread specifications = 1.25" -11TPI (ISO 228/1-G 1) ?

The thread size is relative to the internal dimension if that thread was on a pipe, not the actual measurement of the thread
That made me chuckle
Sorry, that difference was not clear on the previous document (it is now that i’ve seen it from a different angle).
The thread size is the same however.
The antennas I have are early versions and don’t have those cut-aways. The cut–aways are visible on our latest data sheet however.

Thx !
Please put chairs and tray tables in upright position for landing…
Did you ever figure out a work out fir marine installation. I just got as well and I’m scratching my head on this one.
I had a local machinist fab up a plastic adapter for $100.
Not cost effective.
I’m really hoping Peplink can tweak the current antenna housing design and produce a marine version sooner than later.
Both Poynting & Airmar did this with their mast antennas.
plastic doesnt last in the sun/UV on a boat… mounts should ideally be metal…
It’s the high end marine version
I second the request for a marine-friendly adapter for PUMA antennas. Ideally an adapter would result in female 1" x 14 threads.
Hi William,
for this kind of adapter if there is there a difference to have it made from metal or plastic?
